GSA AAS - OSW Critical UPS & Battery Equipment Support (CUBES) - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW), is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of providing critical maintenance services for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. These systems are vital for ensuring that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) can continue to provide uninterrupted mission-critical IT services. The primary goal is to maintain and repair these UPS systems, ensuring they are fully operational and capable of supporting DISA's data centers, which operate 24/7 to serve various government agencies.

The contract, titled Critical UPS & Battery Equipment Support (CUBES), focuses on Sustainment, Repair, and Maintenance (SR&M) services. The scope includes both preventative and emergency maintenance for UPS equipment and associated battery systems across all DISA facilities. This ensures that these power supply systems remain reliable during any contingency situation by providing backup power when commercial utility power fails. The contractor will be responsible for performing regular preventive maintenance tasks biannually for UPS units and quarterly for battery systems.

The objectives outlined in the Performance Work Statement emphasize continuous availability of UPS systems, maximizing equipment service life, and maintaining a comprehensive preventative maintenance program. All preventive maintenance must be conducted by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified technicians using OEM licensed software. In addition to routine tasks like filter replacement and system cleaning, the contract requires rapid response to any failures or emergencies to minimize downtime.

Ultimately, this contract aims to ensure that all installed UPS equipment supporting DISA's operations is maintained at peak performance levels with minimal disruptions. By engaging qualified contractors through this market research process, GSA seeks to uphold high standards of reliability and safety in critical power supply management across various military facilities.
